Default F-Sports on SC 400

Picked up a 2000 SC 400 at end of June. Now fitted with 19" Lexus F-Sport 'Forged'
Front 19x8 / 40mm w/ 245/35-19
Rear 19x9 / 40mm w/ 275/30-19

In case you ever wondered what that might look like...

Funny you should post that. I picked up a white '98 SC400 last week and am debating what to do with wheels. I think I'll go with black, but still undecided if I'll swap my current set over and paint them.

Upgraded the steering wheel, and it made such a big difference for some reason. So much better than the stock steering wheel.

No, but now that you mention it I should take some. A couple months back I took some shots of my car with all the lights on, so if I go back to that garage I can take the exact same pict again and compare to see how much more light comes out.

I don't think it's a lot more output, but the lights do look noticeably brighter as you look at them. This is definitely because the glare guards are gone.

That looks really good. Do you have any side shots to show how much lower the bumper is compared to the rest of your car?
